The Ntinga OR Tambo Development Agency has partnered with Standard Bank to support small farmers. These partners visited different local municipalities under the OR Tambo District Municipality, where they educated the farmers about the help they could expect.
According to the manager for the Project Management Office in Ntinga OR Tambo Development Agency, Zandisile Kanise, they visited farmers from Libode to inform them about the relationship they created with Standard Bank.
“We agreed with this bank to assist the Small Medium & Micro Enterprises (SMME’s), all those who are still new in business who are specialising in piggery and ploughing vegetables. We started this partnership because Standard Bank informed us that it has Social Corporate Responsibility Programmes, and also a programme where it assists sector government and other sectors,” said Kanise.
